Programmers and producers of interactive media will find a comprehensive view of
interactive videodisc (IVD) and compact disc-interactive (CD-I) applications in CD-I and
Interactive Videodisc Technology.
CD-I hardware should be on-line in 1987 or 1988, and users will be able to get off to a fast
start. Manufacturing facilities and distribution networks are already in place, thanks to
parallels with the digital audio (CD-DA) format.
CD-I and Interactive Videodisc Technology will equip you to make the most of this
dynamic new capability. Each chapter, written by a recognized authority in the field, is a
complete unit and offers readers a "conversation" with the author-experts.
Topics include:
• An overview of the interactive market
• Programming considerations for Level II videodiscs
• A survey of Level III videodisc systems
• The future of CD-I
• Authoring languages and systems
• The potential of interactive information technologies in education
• A glossary and resource section
This valuable guide to the market and the tools and techniques used to create interactive
videodisc and CD-I applications will earn a favored place in your library.
